Power Hobby lipo

Anyone use kinexsis lipo batteries? Are they any good?

Never heard of them. I have been using Turnigy and Rvolectrix graphene 3S packs over the last season with good results. You want a pack with a high C rating and the Kinexsis you mentioned seemed to only be 30C. 50+ is preferred for faster electric boat applications.

I would be using these on my stock stealthwake. If I like them I'll get the larger c rated batteries for my next boat.

IMO, wasted money. Why not spend only a little extra now, and then you have a larger cache of batteries that can be used in any of your boats later on? An alternative theory anyways, and not my money to spend.

Good point, I also don't see where the kinexsis has anything over a 35c.

Where do you get your turnigy batteries from?

[fweasel]

Hobbyking. I get the Revo's from OSE.

Can you get revo batteries on here with the ec5 connector?

They come with bare leads. Solder on whatever connector you like.

You can order direct from Revolectrix Singapore with what ever connectors you want. Delivery time is about 5 days.

That's what I did last night. I hope it's 5 days. My Miss Geico 29 should come in next week

I like tracking the orders from them. They go through three foreign wars and still make it in record time.

I'm hoping so, mine hasn't shipped yet.

Took your advice and ordered a pair the other day, thanks. Quick question though pls. For 10.00 more than I usually buy, the 5000Mah 420 3s, I bought a pair of 435's, assuming I can charge them to that number. Preliminary investigation into my owners manual indicated my charger will only charge up to 4.20v ( Ultra Power UP200AC DUO ) so what am I to do? Do any of you guys know if there is a work around to charge these up to the 4.35v, or am I stuck charging a 4.35v to only 4.20v, which probably isn't good for the battery at worse, and at best I pissed away an additional 10.00 per battery that I can't get the most out of. Thanks

Your charger would need a LiHV setting to charge to 4.35V. You can charge a 435 pack to 4.2 with no problems, in fact, the pack life will be increased because of it, all other conditions being equal. However, the rated capacity in mAh is based on a 4.35V charge, so if you charge to 4.2V, the packs will output less than 5000mAh. How much less, I don't know off the top of my head.

IMO, you spent $20 you didn't need to and got batteries that weren't the best match for your needs.
